Workshop Note
Hi Elroyie and many thanks for your words.

The lack of reflection has got nothing to do with the polarizer, but with the use of f/22. Just look at the picture I posted as a workshop. Same place, only minutes earlier, WITH polarizer, but only f/9! The reflection is there.

The f/22 (larger DOF) of the original made the stones in the lake very visible/clear, thus creating a lack of reflection. I had seen so many reflections in Canada before, that I liked this one better than the one with reflection. Reflections are boring! :)

In short: The polarizer has NOTHING to do with the reflections.

Always in a friendly way,
Pieter
